The propeller JUNO arrived at Windsor yesterday afternoon after making an unsuccessful attempt to force a passage through the ice in the Thames River on the way to Chatham. She reported the schooner SPADEMAN with a cargo of grain from Port Huron cut through the ice and sunk near the mouth of the Thames. The JUNO got withing a mile of the SPADEMAN but could get no nearer. She returned to Windsor for at tug to assist her. It is said that the crew of the SPADEMAN were walking around the boat on the ice.

As a prototype it is subject to occasional, unexplained interruptions in service ... because we keep trying new things.
